POST-GAME QUOTES
Head Coach Rolf van de Kerkhof
"As said before, we are work in progress. Our first eight games have given us time to experience Delaware Hockey (DEHO), learn where we are, where we are improving and what we are doing well. Today we learned the importance of playing simple, possess better, do more with our scoring opportunities, and displaying more physicality as an entire team. I am hopeful that DEHO is ready come CAA conference action versus Drexel at the end of the month."
